[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I think, particularly if someone is young when they cheat the first time, he or she could learn a valuable lesson and not do it again.  But, I know a woman who has cheated multiple times over 25 years, and I don't think she'll ever change.  I think for some people it becomes like any other addiction, they just get addicted to the thrill of the cheat.[/quote]

Mostly agree with this. I think it's possible for a person to do a lot of stupid things casually when they are young (like cheat on a college girlfriend) that they wouldn't do as an adult in a serious situation (like a marriage).

However, if they cheated as an adult (say 25 or older) I think you'd be risking a lot and very naive to get into a relationship with them thinking "but it's different with us - they won't cheat on ME." Sure, it's possible they won't, but it's not a gamble I'd want to take. If you're already in a relationship with them and it's you they've cheated on and you're deciding whether to stay or leave - I'm sorry for your situation. For me, whether or not I had kids would factor into the decision, and whether it was a one-time thing versus a full on affair or multiple instances of cheating with different people. [/quote]
